- matheusmoreira 3y agoThe examples I cited were not hypothetical. The "tomorrow" you dismiss as some unrealistic joke is already here. Search HN for the news if you don't believe it. Want another? Not too long ago some car maker's data leaked and we discovered they were recording people while they were driving. Got any other bright ideas you feel justified implementing in the name of "safety"? They're "making your car save lives". How? By taking away your control. You're not in command of your vehicle anymore. Don't forget it.
- peteradio 3y agoHow many lives makes it worth it? Just one? Should it make an appreciable difference? I am hesitant to hand the reigns of society to safety nazi bean counters who are more interested in appearing to "do sometihng" than actually improving our lives.
